The Mayor of Osceola, Ark, Is
named Bacchus. A very fitting name
for that town-in fact the survival
of the fittest. The Times tells us
that business is pretty brisk in the
mayors court" So much for a name.
-Dyersburg Gazette.
A pretty good bit, bro. Neal; but
it's sharp point and pricking quality
loses itself in uncertainty when it is
known that our mayor is dissenter,
and bitterly opposes the worsh,ppers
at the shrine Of his ancient name
sake-thc God of Wine. But
how about your own mayor of Dy-
ersburg; We notice in the same issue
of your bright Gazette a tragic ac-
count of the arrest and punishment
Of half a score violators Of the peace,
under the startling headlines, "Hell
Broke Loose in Dyersburg!' Does
this character represent your mayor,
and is he survival of the fittest? An
anxious public awaits reply in or
der to compare the relative superior
ity of Tennessee town over one in
Arkansas.
Another question: Is your mayor
"dyer" of the burg" in Other
words, is he painter, and does he
follow it for the amusement Of the
boys!

The most truthful saying is, that
newspapers like church, 1t wants
fostering; then it can reflect credit
upon its location. Take your home
paper. 1t gives you more interest
ing news than ell outside papers; it
talks for you when other localities
belle you; you always have a cham
pion in your home paper, aud those
who stand up for you should certain
ly be well sustained. Therefore il
is to your interest 10 support your
home paper; not grudgingly, but in
liberal spirit, as pleasure, not as
a .disagreeable duty, and as al in
vestment that will pay the expendi-
ture.-Level- Headed Exchange.

The EARNEsrsEss oE LIFE.

The. .earnestness of life does not
impress itself upon many Of eur
young men, and much valuable time
is lost in consequence. Life is in
tensely earnest, and il We are to
maintain ourselves in the fierce con-
fict we must employ every moment
and every resource within us or with
in our reach to the very best advan-
tage. The man who is alert and in
dustrious and who has reasonable
appreciation of the responsibilities
of life will likely be successful
man. He will have no time and no
desire to bother himself with side
aud Improbable issues. He will
have no inclination to meddle with
other peoples business, and that in
clinatiDn is one of the most serious
drawbacks that people generally ev-
er experience. Mind your own bus
mess. Let other people take care
of theirs. Never intrude advice up
on others. If your advice is wanted.
it will be asked. If it is not asked,
do not give it in business matters.
II that rule was followed and men
would strictly coniine themselves to
their own affairs, some people would
be able to utilize halt their lives
which are now utterly wastcc in
meddliug. The charm which other
peoples business has upon some is a
curious thing. They will pause in
their own pursuits to learn what
their neighbor is dong. They will
pause in their own conversation to
hear what others are talking about.
Bat the earnest man will apply him
self to his own affairs. He will not
strain his ears to listen to conversa-
ton that does not concern him, nor
bis eyes to behold what is really of
no interest to him.
BE earnest. Do not NOPE through
the world. Do not spend precious
time IN frivolty. Do not indulge
even in the smallest of vices, for they
scar and debilitate. Settle upon a
course of life and follow it steadily.
Do not loaf away the moments.
"Count that day lost whose slow de-
scending sun views from that hand
no worthy action done" Take your
hands out of your pockets and be a
man among men and cultivate de-
termination to make your mark In
the word. Young m".n, if you will
follow this homely advice, it will put
money in your pocket and Joy in
your soul and add very greatly to
the aggregate happiness and pros
perity of society.--[Ex.

THIS snake literature comes by
way OF the Cross County Chronicle
"a party of gentlemen went snake
hunting in L'Anguille bottom last
week aud killed 81 rattlesnakes, G
cotton-mouths and 2 blacksnakes
They were all huddled together, and
most of them were very large"
The editors of the Cross County
Chronicle, are bo:h very young men
but as snake story writers, they dis
play the ability Of veterans. They
are sure to leave broad trail IN the
world, and reflect credit on the pro-
fession.

An exchange truthfully and tore.
IDLY remarks: "When a fast youth
goes astray, friends gather around
him in order to restore him to the
path of virtue. Gentleness and kind
ness are lavished upon him. No one
would ever suspect that he has sin
ned. But when a poor con6ding
girl has been betrayed, she receives
the brand of society and is henceforth
driven from the way of virtue. The
betrayer is honorably recieved; but
there is no place for her this side of
the grave. Society has no loving
helping hand for her, no smile OF
peace or voice of forgivness. There
as deep wrong in this and fearful
are the consequences, and yet, to our
shame be it said in this Christian land
we boast Of humanity and kindness
to women"
The Osceola times., 1887-05-07

The following nugget of truth and
good sense comes from the Arkadel-
phia Standard:
Arkansas may or may not have
gold, and she may or may not have
silver or lead in paying quantities,
but one great fact stares the world
in the face as stared the stony Sphinx
across the Egyptian desert-and that
is, her forests are the finest on the
continent. The houses, the furni-
ture--everything that ak is wont to
cut aud plane to shave--njw shoot
ing heavenward in the raw material
from our soil are past power of COM
putation. Let's boom our wood
awhile and give the rocks II rest"
Now you're talking. That's just
our idea to a gnat's heal, and strikes
us where we live. Mississippi coun-
ty is ready to claim the palm as the
banner timbered county Of the state,
ready, willing and waiting for rail
road to open an avenue leading to
the markets of the world. The Yo-
semitic valley of California may boast
of few specimens of abnormal trees
which are kept on exhibition to ex,
cite the wonder and admiration of
tourist from the denuded eastern
states and European sight-seers, but
for variety, quantity, quality and
adaptablility for all uses to which
wood is put, Mississippi county, ac-
cording to area, challenges the world
to beat her timber resources.

The Chancellor'irs ritability makes
him hard man to get along with,

Busch relates that he, one evening
in 1877, heard I;ismark complain
very bitterly of his lot in life. His
career, he said, had given very little
satisfaction to himself personally and
won him very few friends; he had not
added to the happiness Of himself, of
his family, or of any one. One OF
those who heard him say this suggest
ed that be bad made a great nation
happy. EYES," he replied, "but
how many other nations have rem

Trees as Sanitary pointers"

Trees are often useful guides to the
selection of residences. Numerous
trees with rich foliage and rank un-
dergrowth of ferns or moss indicate a
damp, stagnant atmosphere; while
abundance of flowers and fruit imply a
dry sunny climate. Children will be
healthiest where most flowers grow,
and old people will live longest where
our common fruits ripen best, as these
conditions of vegetation indicate a
climate which is least favorable to
bronchitis and rheumatism.
Pines and their companions, the
birches, indicate dry, rocky, sandy,
or gravel soil; beeches, dryish,
chalky, or gravel soil; elms and lines,
rich and somewhat damp soil: oaks
and ashes. heavy clay soil, and pop
lars and willow, low, damp. or
marsh soil.
Many of these trees are found grow
ing together. and it is only when one
species predominates in number and
vigor that it is truly characteristic of
the soil and that portion of the atmos-
phcre i'm conneetisn with it.

Method OF the Dudes.

The old clo' man could. if he would,
tell curious secrets of well-dressed hu-
manity. Most of us can recall trans
actions with this peripatetic trader,
in which, after treating with contumely
each individual piece of not inelegant
wardrobe, he lugged off the garments
and left with the seller a pitifully
small sum in exchange. The clothes
are not technically old, as the young
soldier of few years service is tech
nically veteran. He never wears
garments longer than a few weeks,
and he sells it for fair percentage of
the original cost. He gets long cred
its from his tailor and cash down from
the old clo man. He thus contrives to
be always we'll dressed at compara-
lively moderate cost. 1t is told of a
great ready-made clothier's SON that
the young man appeared in a new suit
at least once month. He wore his
garments carefully. and after they had
been pressed and cleaned returned
them to his fathers stock to be sold as
new to an unsuspecting public.

A Sensible Princess.

For person of only seven years ex-
perience, the good sense shown by the
child d-princess Charlotte was really re-
markable. Her music-teacher, who
was silly enough to think that prin-
cess without tiattery was like duck
without water, once highly commended
her execution when she herself knew
that it was faulty and deserved no
praise at all The room was filled
with: other people who held similar
opinions about princesses and ducks;
and all, when she appealed to them,
declared that her Royal Highness had
PLAYED in manner to rayish the ears
of angels. She knew better, but said
no more at the moment. When Master
Teacher came next morning for a les
son, however. he found his pay and a
discharge ready for him; also piece
of advice from her little Highness, that
she should never indulge error in a
pupil where hewas employed to per-
fert the unskillful. Thus Charlotte
Showed her power of reasoning and
her mastery of the English language.

A Facetious Horse.

He was always delighted. too, when
hescould tease or frighten any other
horse. Many time / have seen him,
after dancing and paving and going
sideways, or tail first, as he always did
at starting out, suddenly sober
down, sidle up to Mr.. Romayne's
big horse. Tampa, and walk along as
quiet and demure as a cat, until Mr..
Romayne would say: why 10, you're
really getting that pony quiet" Quick
as a flash Toddie would seize Zafnpa's s
curb rein between his teeth, give it a
fearful jerk, then jump off to the other
side of the road, and stand there, shak-
ing all over like person that is split
ting his sides with laughter. You
never could tell what that pony
mightn't do next.-Ameriean Maqa-
